🧔🏻‍♂️ Episode Summary: In this episode, Dave and Dante dive into the brief but bold story of Shammah, one of David's mighty men, found in 2 Samuel 23:11–12. Though only given two verses in the Bible, Shammah's example of standing firm when everyone else fled offers a powerful challenge to Christian men today. This is a call to faithfulness over fame, courage over compromise, and obedience over outcomes. Dave and Dante break down what it means to identify your "field" — your calling, your responsibilities, your God-given territory — and stand your ground when the enemy tries to take it.

🔑 Key Takeaways: • Every man has a field — marriage, fatherhood, ministry, work, or personal integrity — and the enemy always wants to steal it. • Shammah stood alone, but he didn't stand in his own strength. "The Lord worked a great victory." (2 Samuel 23:12) • Faithfulness in small things is not overlooked by God. • Standing firm is the mark of mature manhood. • Victory belongs to God, but obedience belongs to us.

📖 Scripture Referenced: • 2 Samuel 23:11–12 – Shammah stands in the lentil field • 1 Corinthians 16:13 – "Act like men" and stand firm • Luke 16:10 – Faithful in little = faithful in much • Ephesians 6:13 – The armor of God and standing firm • Exodus 14:14 – The Lord fights for you • Galatians 6:9 – Don't grow weary in doing good

🛠️ Practical Application: 1 Identify your "field" – Where has God called you to be faithful right now? 2 Stand your ground – What distractions or spiritual attacks are tempting you to walk away? 3 Trust God for the results – He brings the victory when we stay obedient.

🧠 Discussion Questions: 1 What "field" has God given you that you might be tempted to abandon? 2 Where have you seen God fight on your behalf when you chose to stand firm? 3 How do we encourage other men to hold the line when culture tells them to give up?
